Changing variable costume

Hi, does anyone know how to change the look of a variable? I know you can change it by clicking on the variable, but I still don't like the look of it.

If you mean customizing the way the variable monitor looks, then unfortunately there is no way of doing it other than right-clicking the variable monitor and changing its settings that way.

One thing you can do is implement your own variable monitor (using a sprite) and use a text engine to display text. This part is a little complicated and may take some effort to implement depending on what text you want your variable monitor to show. (for example, showing numbers only requires digits 0 – 9 and a decimal point, but generic strings require 26 letters, digits, punctuation, etc.)

There is a suggestion over here which proposes variable monitor customization in one way by adding the ability to edit the text and background color of variable monitors — feel free to discuss the suggestion there if you like.

if wanted, make several variables in the same place that all report to one hidden variable. When you want change it, hide one and show the other!

Thanks for telling me. By the way, i found out that if you have a scratch/google app, you can change the colour of your blocks. Please check out my

1. Read above.
2. Open your own topic
3. Unless you feel like making a browser extension, you can't. You have to mimic the variable reporter using costumes and/or a text engine.
